[Matplotlib-users] Building Basemap on Windows

[klo uo <kl...@gm...>]

So I forked then cloned huge Basemap repository with idea to test latest code

README file says it needs geos library, which README suggest:

  nmake /f makefile.vc MSVC_VER=1500

However, error is inevitable almost always and this time Google
suggests that MS does not support C-99 (can't find inttypes.h).
Easiest solution is to copy these:
https://code.google.com/p/msinttypes include files in affected include
folder and change line `#include <inttypes.h>` in platform.h to
`#include "inttypes.h"` so it picks it up from current folder

That was it, geos compiled and products ended in src subfolder
relative to geos folder:

  inlines.obj
  geos.lib
  geos_i.exp
  geos_i.lib
  geos.dll.manifest
  geos.pdb
  geos.ilk
  geos.dll
  geos_c_i.exp
  geos_c_i.lib
  geos_c.dll.manifest
  geos_c.pdb
  geos_c.ilk
  geos_c.dll

Now, Basemap setup has *nix scenario for GEOS_DIR so I changed setup.py to:

  geos_include_dirs=["C:\\Temp\\basemap\\GEOS-3~1.3\\capi","C:\\Temp\\basemap\\GEOS-3~1.3\\include",numpy.get_include()]
  geos_library_dirs=["C:\\Temp\\basemap\\GEOS-3~1.3\\src"]

after I learned that `python setup.py build" fails if Basemap source
is in path with spaces

Still no luck, and thought to ask for kind help:
